Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tennyson Poet, Philosopher, Idealist: Studies of the Life, Work, and Teaching of the Poet Laureate Lest misunderstanding should arise, it is perhaps as well that I should explain at the outset that I have not attempted to supply a biography of the late Lord Tennyson. I have given prominence to his literary career, and preference to those facts which illustrated the literary side of his character. Believing, as I do, in the far-reaching and permanent effects of early environment, I have recounted with some detail the events of Tennyson´s youth; but in succeeding chapters I have only casually caught up the main threads of his personal history. Each chapter is a separate and complete study of some phase of Tennyson´s work, and I have particularly endeavoured to deal adequately with his religion, philosophy, and politics. Some doubtful points I hope to have set at rest by undertaking original investigations and by careful reference to standard authorities. The criticisms of Tennyson´s contemporaries, especially those of his youth, are quoted at some length because of their interest and value. I have not, however, deemed it necessary in a work of this kind to repeat for the thousandth time the "small talk" of which great men are so often the victims; and I must ask pardon in advance of those readers who do not find in these pages a full and true account of Tennyson´s sayings and doings in private life.
